Maybe also compare those privateers performances to those of the current privateers in WRC. Petter Solberg sure got a good exposure during the years he was a privateer in WRC... And apart from once in Monte Carlo, I think Robert Kubica also got a decent exposure, according to how the results were.

Imho, RX are a lot easier to enter due to technical regulations. Do they need to do all the homologation work like in WRC? Cars are simpler to some degree. Also, as mentioned previous, events are held on closed and very similar tracks, so no logistical challenges and testing all around the world. It quickly adds up the expenses.
Yet there are no such difference in team size and budget, so we have a lot of even teams you can try to match. Not like VW in wrc, where you need to be international mammoth company to rival them.

Well technically Petter Solberg is a privateer now in WRX. So obviously coverage increases with good results - in any sport. But in the last WRX round they were showing real local privateers and full races featuring their cars. More TV time in one two-hour broadcast than maybe Al Rajhi gets in an entire season. And let's be honest the only reason he gets airtime is when he crashes - which isn't really something you can pitch to sponsors.
They also show dedicated broadcasts for support championships on social media. Really next-level stuff. But this is a separate debate I think.RS Motorsport Media - Follow me on Instagram: rsmotorsportmedia

You sure? So if VW won't get top 5 result in some rally, they'll still get the airtime proportion equal to the the proportion budget they spend in WRC? Hmm, I don't think so....

I agree, I don't understand wrc at all. Just watch it for fun.
